camshaft upgrade????????
ive been reading alot on here and i know that the best performance upgrade is the cold air intake t/b exhaust etc. but my buddies says i can forget all that unless i want a small h.p. return? to do all that later if i wanted to but he said that changing out the cam shaft will achieve what all the other mods will do and then some has any one done this or know about this

I would imagine it'd have to be more of a combination thing. I know the stock air box on these is pretty restrictive. So opening the intake valves farther and longer, I'm not sure will still suck in as much air. Seems that airbox is a pretty big bottleneck.

Yea its not that he siad dont do em at all im still gonna do em but that its better to do the cam shaft first for the most gain? But that the cam mod will for example! If i did just the air intake i'd get 5 h.p. More but with the combination of the cam and the air intake i'd get 10 -15 h.p. Out of it . So is? / if this is true and correct does any one know what kind is best over all performance for fuel econonmy and h.p.
